Ultimately I think it all falls on failure on the government’s behalf. They’re the only ones who can fund services in order to improve the lives of those more likely to commit violent crimes.

Don’t forget the role the media plays. Turning the attacker into a celebrity. Turning their kill count into a high score. Dehumanizing the victims.
Research has shown for years that covering of mass attacks results in more. Something should have been done decades ago to control the coverage, buuuut “first ammendment” and “freedom of the press.”

Oh yeah, I’m sure that the press in the US are as bad, if not worse than those in the UK.
They need to be held accountable, but something tells me that those who run the press are also the same people in charge of our laws 😶
